I wasn't planning on going for a run today. But those cops came out of nowhere.
Even though I started playing Hearthstone about 2 weeks after Frozen Throne came out, I finally decided today that I would complete the adventure that came with it. (I did complete the prologue for the free DK though).
First pack I got from it gave me Rotface and second pack a Golden Argus.
And today I defeated the Lich King and got Hadronox.
Now I can be one of those dickhead taunt druids too :D
But, Big Priest, how can you resurrect your minions, if they are currently on my side of the board?
I don't have screenshots for you, guys, but today I had an exciting experience on the wild ladder w/ Steal Priest. I probably faced 4-5 Big Priests and all them suffered the torture from their own minions (thx to Mindgames, Entomb, Sylvanas Windrunner and Mind Control + Thoughtsteal, Crystalline Oracle, which gave me their resurrection spells). My last game against this deck occurred in the following way:
Boy, never before did I steal so many cards from my opponent leaving them w/o any good plays. My deck can lose to aggro, but it's super fun when it lands on a control deck.
Bullying OTK decks with my Weasel Maly Priest hybrid.
Standard format struggling to deal with Shudderwock Shaman as control, yet in wild it is easy to win with a meme. (Think it is easy to tell which format is superior ;P )
The Quest Mage had around 12 weasels in their deck along with 4 mirror images and some other garbage minions. Eventually they just quit out of frustration lol.
Playing in Arena, my opponent's first three tuns involve topdecking a fallen sun cleric for tempo, topdecking mark of the wild for tempo, and topdecking swipe for removal. I received approximately 17 'greetings' emotes during this time. The next several turns my opponent didn't know how to use that advantage, and on turn 7 the board was clear and I play Sated Threshadon. My opponent plays Hungry Ettin on 7, and I get... Sorcerer's Apprentice. I'm a Shaman, and I have Unstable Evolution in hand. I make a totem and go to town... I end up getting a gadgetzan auctioneer and then start drawing as well. End of turn, I've got a bunch of fat minions on the board, 10 cards in hand, and then...
Even though I disconnected for 1 turn when my opponent had a master of realities up, twisting nethered and clawed my way back into the game. That was satisfying as all hell. Doesn’t help that I also got 2 quests instead of 1 today. Today was a good day.
Just won 2 arenas in a row, from nearly unwinnable positions and against heavy boards. Thank you Mind Control Tech and Chromie, you fucking legends. Unbelievable tempo swing they give you, and usually when the opponent commits too much and empties their hand going in for the kill. Stealing a buffed 9/10 Earth Elemental and pulling the Chromie buff card straight after, making my Shaman opponent, who was emoting all game, concede at 24 health vs. my 8 (they had just emptied their hand) was just orgasmic.
Steal Priest, no regrets. Control decks were slaughtered, cards identities were stolen and a lot of friend requests were sent to my acc.
Control warlocks and Big Priests were the saltiest today. Here are some moments I managed to capture:
Deck list ? Been looking for a steal priest that works. Every one I make is hopeless...
Damn, I miss getting those notifications. Anyway, allow me to warn you that I don't think that this particular list is safe. I just pulled an amazing luck in those games and I happened to find the right cards at the right time. Against aggro decks I got beaten pretty easily. I just play it for the lulz, I like trolling with other players. Anyway the list I'm using is the following one:
Again, I'm not claiming that this is a viable deck; I just wanted to goof around in wild. I didn't expect to climb from rank 25 all the way to rank 8. You can add some anti-aggro tools, in order to increase your chances for survival (Spirit Lash). I personally don't have Netherspite Historian, but I would have went with a more dragon-centered theme if I had the support (Netherspite Historian, Duskbreaker, Drakonid Operative + something something). I'm also too poor to craft Archbishop Benedictus, but if you have him, remove Potion of Madness. I'm thinking of removing Museum Curatorfor 2x Shifting Shade just to go with the thief theme more and to have more 4-drops. Also, if you are really looking for a competitive list, then remove Mindgames for Greater Healing Potions. They only work against Big Priest and sometimes against control warlock. I also lack Raza the Chained, but I think I would have made a Reno deck if I had the needed cards.
Anyway this is how my list looks like. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Right after I played N'Zoth, the warlock player knew, that they were screwed. As you can see Mal'Ganis was sitting in their hand and my opp really wanted to clear the board. Unfortunately for him Sylvanas was waiting.
Btw 1) the N'Zoth you are seeing is actually my opponent's :P 2) my opp attacked my face with the 3/4 and played their own sylvanas. I entomb-ed her and bumped my minions into the 3/4 and sylvanas into Mal'Ganis.
Against Arcane giants/Auctioneer Jade druid:
I just want to admire my opponent for a bit. They did their best to rush me down. At turn 7 (with 8 mana) they went bonkers with their Auctioneer. I managed to kill it, but the second one was waiting in their hand and my opponent managed to play both giants, to clean their deck and to start filling it with jade idols on the very next turn. Luckily for me I had the needed tools to survive - Amara helped me stabilize and N'Zoth filled me with value. At one point my opponent went wide with their jades, I used Psychic Scream and summoned a 6/6 and a 7/7. I stole their next minion w/ Mind Control and since I put many golems in their deck, there was finally a good outcome for my Mindgames. Poor Druid, not even their early jade spamming couldn't deal with the BS from steal priest.
Against Cubelock:
This may not be that impressive, but this is the turn before my opponent conceded. I didn't have the opportunity to steal their cube, which had doomguards in it. Inb4 the game could have been won 4-5 turns earlier, but my inner thief instincts wanted me to continue further and to steal even more flashy cards.
Just owned a little bitch who BMed "Well Played" immediately after his turn 4 Barnes into Ragnaros. Eat jades, shitheel. Shudderwock into Bloodlust into salty tears and a ragequit. Sit the fuck down, son.
Playing Burgle Rogue (without jades) in Wild at rank 19, I encountered a mage who was all about randomness, just like me. It was a Tess versus Yogg match for the ages. Tess saved me at the end by recasting Frost Nova while we both had lethal. (I would have killed him if it wasn't for Ice Block.) He responded by playing Yogg-Saron with him at 5 health and me at about 11.
With 13 targets counting both heroes, Yogg casts Firelands Portal, and it goes straight into the Mage's face for exactly lethal damage.
Long story short, Tess saved me and Yogg killed my opponent. The fact that Friday the 13th is in a couple of weeks and that there were 13 targets for Firelands Portal to hit made this all the more amusing.

Beat a secret/face mage as a cubelock this morning. He started with Mana Wyrm into Arcanologist. Felt good.
And today I defeated the Lich King and got Hadronox.

My last game against this deck occurred in the following way:
Opp:
turn 4 - Shadow Visions, Barnes still in the deck
turn 6 - Shadow Essence -> Obsidian Statue (insta Entomb-ed)
turn 8 - The Lich King (insta Entomb-ed)
turn 9 - Ragnaros the Firelord (insta Entomb-ed)
turn 10 - Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound, which pulls Barnes
I play Sylvanas Windrunner, my opp silences her, Y'Shaarj has the honor to hit me in the face, my opponent then Shadow Word: Deaths it just to have something good to resurrect. :D Resurrect was played and their board consisted of 1x Y'Shaarj, 1x 3/3 Barnes (he did a small trade) and 1x Obsidian Statue. I attack the statue with my Sylvanas, I then play a gifted Excavated Evil, Twilight's Call and Shadow Word: Pain on my own Sylvanas to steal that pesky Y'shaarj. The opponent didn't concede just yet, they still had an upgraded spellstone, but after several turns I won at the end.
Boy, never before did I steal so many cards from my opponent leaving them w/o any good plays. My deck can lose to aggro, but it's super fun when it lands on a control deck.
Just hit rank 1 with... Even Paladin (post-nerf, of course.).
Does badly vs. aggro decks... but has done very well vs. Even Warlock and all Druid decks.
I feel somehow more satisfied that I got here using something "off meta".
Not sure if I'll make legend - escaping rank 2 was hell - but it is good to know that you don't have to play a tier 1 deck to advance.
Bullying OTK decks with my Weasel Maly Priest hybrid.
Standard format struggling to deal with Shudderwock Shaman as control, yet in wild it is easy to win with a meme. (Think it is easy to tell which format is superior ;P )

Yup, you guessed it.
I emote 'greetings'.
Karma.
Got fed up of standard and switched to wild.
Gone 11-0 with my Spiteful Keleseth Quest Priest. Can't say it isn't satisfying.
Even though I disconnected for 1 turn when my opponent had a master of realities up, twisting nethered and clawed my way back into the game. That was satisfying as all hell. Doesn’t help that I also got 2 quests instead of 1 today. Today was a good day.

Got my first golden legendary after playing for two years :)
On the third day before Witchwood, Blizzard gave to me,
three Handlock decks,
two Molten Giants
and a winstreak to Legend Rank #3
